norcoforever Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I've just got a roller to use for spares be good to see how the sirius motor performs in it. my stock motor died unfortunately i think when it get dunked it kiled off the bearings, i'm hoping the 4600kv will give slightly better temps hoping my wheel choice will work lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autobutcher Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 2 spanking new lipo's all charged up and the rain hasn't let up all day, tis bol-x! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil3822 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Would these fit my firestorm? I like the look of them and would prefer pre glued sets. I am ordering some other bits from this site. They seem a little expensive though for 2 tyres and wheels. http://www.wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/62752/ Thoughts!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) They're expensive because they're bead loc wheels mate and not really designed for high powered brushless systems. Also says in the description Fits: 1:16 . The should fit the FS as they're 12mm hexs and 2.2" but have 3.6 Edited July 8, 2012 by stretch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksprogis Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Gluing is best , they are good but the tread pattern is different to what i have seen . I would buy separated mate . My dirt hawg's on split 6's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil3822 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Thanks guys, I will leave them alone then. How about > http://www.modelsport.co.uk/pro-line-dirt-hawg-11-front-or-rear-truck-2-/rc-car-products/11403 with > http://www.modelsport.co.uk/hpi-scorch-6-spoke-wheel-gun-metal-55x50mm-2pcs-/rc-car-products/28534 Would that combo work? I am going to turn one of my firestorms into a military sorta style with the MX1 truck shell. Sorry and thanks, need a lot of help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 yes that combo will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil3822 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I take it those tyres I suggested will be ok for grass, tarmac and a bit of loose track? Also, what glue should I get to fix them on with? Do I need any other stuff? An unrelated question, when I plus my deans connector in it normally sparks as it goes in. I take it this is normal.

stretch Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Yes I've found dirt hawgs to be good all rounders, have you worn out the stock tyres already? Mine lasted ages. You can use superglue or I know a couple of people who use this http://www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?product_id=367118 there's some others on there as well, you don't want anything too runny. Yes that's normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil3822 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Thanks for the link, I have not warn the stock ones out but they dont go with the look I am creating for my firestorm. I like to pimp them as much as play them. To be fair in this weather I am tinkering more than using lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mez Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 hehe my wife found these and would like to know would they fit the firestorm http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tamiya-54282-DB01-Front-Dish-Wheels-Pink-TRF501x-TRF502x-TRF511-DB-01-NIP-/390391932226?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item5ae52c2542#ht_1621wt_814 had a quick look and they are for 1/10th and 2.2 but not sure on the hex size i send message asking if they are 12mm hex my wife will be well happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooBoonix Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 They are on-road car wheels, much thinner than truck wheels so the firestorm tyres won't fit onto them. Just stick to the 2.2" Truck wheels on modelsport, much easier for you and us, If you want pink then get some plain white wheels and dye them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
